The school bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day. Jun, as usual, was the last one to leave the classroom, his nose buried in a book. He was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice Yuki standing in the doorway, watching him with a soft smile.318Please respect copyright.PENANAkQfEYw6HCc
318Please respect copyright.PENANAuM0KEdSXn6
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"318Please respect copyright.PENANA9HS3y8p1Ob
318Please respect copyright.PENANA11gGBzX34R
Jun's heart skipped a beat. Yuki, the school's most popular girl, was talking to him? He quickly closed his book, his cheeks flushing red.318Please respect copyright.PENANAW7FAGTOhyU
318Please respect copyright.PENANAFPioWbffe7
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.318Please respect copyright.PENANAyG3jOyhxLP
318Please respect copyright.PENANAfjiz5nW6bP
Yuki took a deep breath. "I... I wanted to ask you something," she said, her eyes meeting his. "Would you... would you like to go out sometime?"318Please respect copyright.PENANAjqx1h9oOEQ
318Please respect copyright.PENANA3aLs8YXgwz
Jun's brain went blank. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Yuki, the girl of his dreams, had just asked him out on a date.318Please respect copyright.PENANAKjlEew7xOx
318Please respect copyright.PENANAA3lhQVukDe
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."318Please respect copyright.PENANAnfomg9aRqF
318Please respect copyright.PENANAWlC4xQx10B
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."318Please respect copyright.PENANAsjLOz248nS
318Please respect copyright.PENANA3u1ZbTwk8d
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."318Please respect copyright.PENANAEWF9yqbTay
318Please respect copyright.PENANA1AwJvGQWoi
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.318Please respect copyright.PENANABpmriWmAJQ
318Please respect copyright.PENANA9zAXAmDXOH
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.318Please respect copyright.PENANAnqfga6lswu
318Please respect copyright.PENANAEi3QPMKivV
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.318Please respect copyright.PENANAB3gZuw34Jl
318Please respect copyright.PENANAwKlrckYNAd
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."318Please respect copyright.PENANAISAd4Q51T2
318Please respect copyright.PENANABJ4y4tIRmd
She trailed off, her eyes filled with disappointment. Jun felt a pang of guilt. He wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn't come.318Please respect copyright.PENANAAJjBlfIkFq
318Please respect copyright.PENANAX9GJ7SS0uz
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.318Please respect copyright.PENANA04RJzMjeMk
318Please respect copyright.PENANAJahpwNoTTG
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.318Please respect copyright.PENANA7STFNTpVYQ
318Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0cZuHhqGX
As Yuki walked away, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. She had been so nervous to ask him out, but she had finally worked up the courage. And now, it seemed like it was all for nothing.318Please respect copyright.PENANAzl5EAYrSRv
318Please respect copyright.PENANAbBsndvD4qH
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.318Please respect copyright.PENANA7vMotU3CJ6
318Please respect copyright.PENANA0YeNPwoVev
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.318Please respect copyright.PENANAsY03Tz4tPO
318Please respect copyright.PENANA3ktDY2LyzS
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."318Please respect copyright.PENANAtwJhagtY8j
318Please respect copyright.PENANAJjkk75tRmZ
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."318Please respect copyright.PENANAtL9XXIIZPs
318Please respect copyright.PENANAh8PmDaqxiD
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."318Please respect copyright.PENANAcViglHgrFo
318Please respect copyright.PENANAckjBkz2mdF
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."318Please respect copyright.PENANAuXDQq0C5GZ
318Please respect copyright.PENANAvY8aIMEypk
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."318Please respect copyright.PENANAWcsdfCKj6u
318Please respect copyright.PENANAvKtxiWrkU1
But deep down, she knew Hana was right. She had a crush on Jun, and she wasn't going to let this one little misunderstanding stop her. She was determined to win his heart, even if it meant facing her own fears and insecurities.318Please respect copyright.PENANAui01CShdkf
